About Managing Action Macros

You can rename, copy, modify, and delete an action macro with the Action Macro Manager or from the Action Tree.

Manage Files with the Action Tree

The Action Tree is displayed when the Action Recorder panel is expanded. The following options are available when you right-click the action macro node in the Action Tree.
  • Rename. Changes the command and file name for the action macro.
  • Delete. Removes the action macro file from the Action Macro list and places the file in the Windows Recycle Bin.
  • Copy. Creates a duplicate copy of the action macro; you specify a new command and file name for the action macro.
  • Properties. Changes the command name and playback settings for the action macro.
Action nodes that represent commands can be deleted and value nodes can be edited from the Action Tree. The following options are available when you right-click an action node in the Action Tree:
  • Delete. Removes an action node from the current action macro.
  • Edit. Replaces the current value with a new value.
